This is Swiffer. She crowed so she is now a he. He has grown a bit more since this pic and is now 8 months old. YES they grow VERY slowly.

These are about 5 months old, less than half the size of my standard hens

Westley and Buttercup~

Here are my chicks! Some are splash and some are blue. The ones that look white are now growing some black feathers.
